Dive-site story
Kleine Knip, also known locally as Playa Kenepa Chiki, features a relaxed shore entry from a sandy cove into a sheltered turquoise bay. Divers swim out across sandy patches dotted with coral heads before reaching a gradually sloping reef terrace along the coastal drop-off. Both the northern and southern rocky headlands support healthy hard coral formations and macro life.
Gradual reef slope rich in boulder brain corals and gorgonian sea fans
Sheltered sandy shallows harboring colonies of yellowhead jawfish and garden eels
Rocky drop-off margins frequented by foraging sea turtles and spotted morays
